Addiction

The zelda brainrot was real back when this game came out, ended up having 100+ hrs during the release month.

Unfortunately, I abandoned it during the final quest (near its end as well) idk it was way too long (　・ω・) also, the temple bosses could've been harder imo.

This game is just overcooked 1 & 2, including all dlcs and more chefs mushed together in one game :0

My friend and I hang out at her place and turn into Gordon Ramsies and have lots of fun, and eat good food👍

This is the only game that I haven't played yet in this list :3c I watched so many playthroughs of it on YouTube, and ughhhhh, it's just so good. wtf?

I usually don't like horror games (I'm slowly changing my mind this year, though), but I absolutely adore this game. I did buy it, tho, along with the first game, and I'm planning to play both eventually. I already know everything that will happen, but idc!

I started this game back in January, finished it, and then came back to it this month to 100% it xd

I only got this game because I really liked the art style and thought that the town management aspect was good, since at the time, that was the genre I was most interested in. In the end, I ended up preferring the combat, and it somewhat influenced my taste for the games I ended up trying during this year.

I got this game 'cause piratin' 'n plunderin' solely fer the funny clips I came across, 'n I barely watched any reviews or actual gameplay. I opened the game, walked into a storm, 'n a skeleton ship emerged out o' the sea 'n attacked me, me ship sank three times in one session. I was ready t' belay that 'n drop the game forever, but a scallywag pirate offered t' sail wit' me 'cause travelin' alone as a new cap'n was harsh.

Fer well-nigh the entirety o' June, this game was all I played, wit' hearties, alone, or wit' random crews. 'n other players be mostly friendly, seein' as I was clearly a new player. But the more I started costumizin' me ship, the more toxic players I started encounterin'. 'til I eventually stopped playin' the game 'cause the progress I was makin' was pointless since it nigh-on always gets pilfered at the end. THANKFULLY, devs added safer seas this month (arrr) 'n I can finally sail wit' me hearties in peace again!

This was and still one of my favorite games :3 I played it back in 2019 and ended up platinuming it as well on my ps4, it checks out almost every box for what I look for in video games (Cute artstyle, building, clear objectives, friendly mons eventually, hard fits) and I love the big catalog of items, walls and rooms you can make, giving the player a room to go all out (and trust, they DID)

Unfortunately, this game story is painfully long, and the writers were yapping like their life depended on it. Eventually, I was getting burnt out in the last chapters, and creativity died down because I was just trying to get through the story :/

Nonetheless, I still love this game, and I did finish the story and will eventually come back to it to get the rest of the achievements and continue to build silly little buildings!

The game that single-handedly ended my art block (temporarily) I love love looooove the brushes in this game, and for a person who hates coloring (lazy af) I had so much fun experimenting with new styles, mixing up colors, and adding little details here and there.

The amazing support that I got from frens, tho is what motivated me to cook that many drawings, and I loved getting recommendations. Idk. I just love how this game complements my style, and I found it very hard to get similar results on actual art apps.. (again, lazy af to search)

Ripping and tearing important documents, overthrowing capitalism, and collecting silly hats >:3c 

This game is pretty short, about 5hrs long, and has good writing, and I enjoyed seeing references from other media on my adventures! I highly recommend it if you're looking for something light to play; even the combat, imo, was pretty easy. ( ´∀��� )b

Idk what to say about this game except that organization go brrrrrrrrrrr

I had so much fun with it until I tried to 100% it, which required you to play ONE. HUNDRED. DAILY. TIDIES. Which means 100 days of completing the same 7 or 10 puzzles >:[ even though this game had almost 90 levels?? Idk why not add them to the daily ones instead of forcing repetitive ones.. but yeah, other than that game good. 👍

I was a very good asset to the company.

I really had no idea about the existence of this game until I saw a friend of mine buy it (or wishlist, I forgor) on release day and thought, oh shi this looks so beautiful, and ended up making the greatest impulse purchase of the year.

Art slaps. Music slaps. Combat slaps. Writing slaps. (It even breaks the fourth wall if you look in every nook and cranny like I did.) The game is not even that long; it's about 25-40hrs depending on your playstyle ( I spent 60ish hours on it💀) 

For me, this was my favorite game of this year and is in the top 5 of all time.

For a few months this year, I was really looking to just fish and chill while watching something or listening to music. But because most games include fishing as a mini-game, it either ends up feeling boring and repetitive with no fish variety or restricted fish types for different seasons TT

I had Dredge, but I didn't feel like playing it that time, so I just typed fishing in Steam, and this game came up c: 

It's really just fishing. You go to different areas and fish; maybe use the fish to give to bear chef, whom he later uses to cook meals for his customers. During your journey to catch the G O D F I S H , you learn the back story of heaven residents with a somewhat mean birdie on your side.

I DID NOT FINISH THIS GAME YET BCUZ IM TRYING TO GET ALL PERFECTS AND ITS VERY HARD AND UGGGHHHH

but its a good rhythm game :3

Sea of Stars takes you on the adventure of two solstice warriors, and their warrior cook friend, journeying to save the worlds and ascend after years of practice. - This game easily became one of my Top 3 games for this year, maybe even my favourite! From its lovely art and smooth animations to its great music and interesting story-telling, it's hard to find a thing to hate about this game (for me at least) I took my time exploring and talking to every NPC I came across x3 Oh and I LOVED the mini-games!! - Playtime: 60hrs (100% completion) -average is 40hrs- Overall rating: 9.5/10 Difficulty: 6/10 Story: 9/10 Gameplay: 10/10 Art style: 9/10 - Screenshots:

Turnip Boy commits tax evasion is a journey of ripping up legal documents, collecting cool hats, and meeting oppressed veggies all while trying to take your greenhouse back from the onion mayor; who giving you unnecessary labor as a payback for not doing your taxes (which he informed on everyone btw)

-

I ended up finishing this game in two sittings. It's pretty short, with a small map that makes it easy to encounter most npcs or find collectables. The writing style was one of my favourite aspects of the game, and it made me want to chat with any veggie I came across. Instead of repetitive, similar lines that most games give their npcs, it's refreshing to see something different :] My one complaint though is trying to get the last achievement(without spoiling it), which was based on luck. It took about 30-40 minutes before I finally got it! '^^

Melon Journey is an adventure of a melon soda company employee searching for their friend. Later encountering many unique characters and learning more about the secret of m e l o n s !!

I bought this game on a whim but ended up fishing it in one sitting the moment I opened it. The writing is so good, it had me laughing out loud so many times during my playthrough. The characters are adorable and loveable, most of them at least c:. Completing all achievements only took me 5hrs!! I highly recommend this if you're looking for something heart-warming, and combat-free to play ^^

✧༺♥༻∞✧༺♥༻∞✧༺♥༻∞✧༺♥༻∞✧༺♥༻∞✧༺♥༻∞✧༺♥༻∞ Fishing Paradiso is a wholesome fishing game that takes place in heaven. The main character is a young kid who becomes friends with a lil birdy early on the game, and they start their journey in making the mc regain his memory. They end up forming many friendships with almost everyone they come across and help out in heaven. I've been looking for a fishing-focused game for too long, and this was a pretty good find to me. The story was short, no filler dialogue and no stamina or day cycle to worry about! I can turn off my mind while playing and maybe watch a YouTube video or a tv show. My only complaint is that near the end, completing the power-ups (for 100% completion) was starting to feel tedious, and a bit pointless since I've already finished all main and side quests. ✧༺♥༻∞✧༺♥༻∞✧༺♥༻∞✧༺♥༻∞✧༺♥༻∞✧༺♥༻∞✧༺♥༻∞
